    Dispensationalists seem to focus more on prophecy than on practical living. How do you answer?

    We dispensationalists focus on prophecy because the Covenant guys do not, and probably over fifty percent of Scripture is prophetic! With you question I could not help but think of a statement by John Gregory, written in 1886, from his book The Seven Laws of Teaching. He wrote:

       In the Bible more than in any other book are reviews needful and valuable.
       Not only does the Bible most require and most repay repeated study, but most
       of all ought Bible knowledge to be familiar to us, if it be, as is claimed, the
       Word of God. Its great truths ought to dwell in the heart and in the conscience
       as a divine presence; its very language should haunt the memory as echoes from
       the hills of heaven. Its words and precepts should rest clear and precise in the
       thoughts as the dictates of duty and the PROPHECIES OF DESTINY. Its grand
       and divine doctrines, its vital precepts, its BLESSED PROMISES, its sublime
       histories, and still SUBLIMER PROPHECIES, should inhabit continually the
       the daily bread of our God-ward life.
